yes, it feels like Autumn is here. Chilly! Very chilly. (boo)
I have this weird feeling, I am not sure if I can put it into proper words. Usually, September has that "new year" feeling, flipping the calendar, starting fresh. I am getting undercurrents of that feeling. I have the urge to get my house organized, my desk/office ready for the new year. But then I have the very conflicting feeling of "why?"It isn't like anything is changing other than Caitlyn will be locked in her for her remote classes and "office hours" for her internship. That is going to be strange. I am used to barging into her room all day long - I knock first, always- but still... I go in to chat with her, play with the babies. Now, it is going to be strange knowing that she and the rats are in there but are off-limits Bwuhahah!
I also have that feeling that summer was supposed to be a downtime and it was but wasn't really. And again, not like anything is really changing. Bottom line is that I have the traditional urge of back to school but there are no external circumstances why.
How is that for a mind-bendy therapy session from me? ha!
The visit with my parents was good. My mom looks the best she has in a long time. She sees the cardiologist today and the nephrologist on Wednesday. She told me that her kidney levels were a 9 in the hospital and I made the mistake of Googling what exactly that meant. I knew that it was bad but I think seeing it in black and white shook me up a bit. A 9 is End-Stage Renal Failure. She is damn lucky that she isn't in dialysis. We are planning on meeting for an outside lunch one day soon. Might as well do that before it gets too cold. NJ is allowing indoor dining starting tomorrow but I don't think either of us is ready for that.
This afternoon Caitlyn and I are taking the rats up for a check-up at the vet. They all have been sneezing on and off. Since Tat died from a respiratory infection she takes no chances with that. Sneezing is common for rats but if it moves into their lungs, they can take a turn very quickly. That is later this afternoon. This morning I have end/beginning of the month Cheery O things I need to do. They have been on my To-Do list for days now but I have no choice to do them today. I also need to finalize my shopping list. Gary got Rxs for bloodwork to check on gluten antibodies and pancreas function from his Lyme Dr. He has to start eating gluten again before he gets that done so meals should be a bit easier to plan for now.
I will take it!
What things are on your to-do list today? Hope only fun things!

It was mostly chilly up here, when the sun was out it was perfect, but the clouds made it feel very cold. I am freezing right now even wearing lots of layers. Seeing the Mediterranean has to be a gorgeous backdrop. We are watching Warrior Nun which takes place on Spain's coast and it makes me want a vacation there some day. Anywhere other than the US would be nice for the next few months.:?:twitch:
